The yield was 23 shocks of r. bundles each. which threshed 55 bushel of grain, weighing 32 lbs. per bushel dld not expect much yield, and St bought the cheapest oats I could find f)r seed.
 This IS not all I had as fine a catcl of grass (clover and timothy) as I evel had. The oats stood on an average 4 feet tall all over the piece. left some spots without Fertilizer, and the oat, were there only IS inches to 2 feet tall with but little grain, and also pool catch of grass seed

Homes Wanted for Children.

The Sisters of Charity of the Home for Destitute Catholics, Boston, ask us to inform our readers that there are over 200 little boys and girls in that institu- tion, of from 3 to 12 years of age, for whom they desire to find homes in
 utholic families in the country. These little ones are bright, intelligent, healthy, and are not children of the criminal classes, but children who have been deprived of their parents or rela- tions through death or misfortune.
 The conditions upon which these chil- ,lren are placed into families are very simple; recommendation from the res ident priest, and guarantee to the Home that they will be kindly treated, ,nd attend church a:,l school regularly. Chaiitabla persons wishing to provide for any of these ;.oor children are invit- ed to address the Home for Destitute Catholic Children, Harrison avenue, Boston.

 At meeting of the Litchfeld North association, holden at Canaan March the following resolutions were adopt+ d : Wierens It has pleased our Heavenly Fa- ther to take from our dear brother, Rev. John Wickliffe Beach, we desire to express our sense of the loss and bereavement we have sustained. We have known him as faithful preacher, a valued teacher of the young, a fine biblical scholar a dear friend. and d Christian gentlemen, whose presence and fellowship were of great and constant value to us.
 We proffer to his wife and family our sin cere sympathy with them in this deep sorrow and we unite with them in a joyful confidence that looks forward to reunion above.

Annual Meeting V. II. Association.

The Canaan Village Improvement as- Saturday evening. The condensed bal ance sheet of the eleventh annual re- port for the fiscal year ending March 1, 1887, shows: cash on hand March l, 1886, S3l. .49; cash received, S235 % :; bills paid, S266.74; bills payable, S267O; leaving net deficit of S267O, or an ac- tual sinking of S5S.1 within the past year.
 A change of management was deemed advisable, and it was virtually admitted that when the wisdom and business tall ent of the 'lords of creation" fail to succeed in an undertaking then they ap- peal to the ladies, for they can rescue any enterprise and wrest victory from defeat, so the following officers were elected for the ensuing year: President, Miss s. w. Adam; vice-p president, Mrs Dr Camp; secretary, Miss s. A. Eddy; treasurer, Miss Minnie Peirce; executive committee, Mrs G. F. Strong, Mrs Geo. | s. Fuller, Mrs J. B. Reed, Mrs H. D. Humphrey. Miss Minrie Van Deusen, Miss Emma Rodemeyer, Messrs c. M. Humphrey, Samuel A. Eddy, George Willis Parsons.
 Heretofore the executive committee consisted of only five persons, but it will be observed that the number has been increased to nine. It is handy to have a man around to build fire, bring a pail of water, or drive nail; so three were added to the executive commi ittee, in hopes that at least one would be with iu hailing distance when wanted and ready to do an errand, but for the ensu- ing year the Village Improvement soci- ety will virtually be managed by the h. dies, and all rest assured that they will retrieve the fortune of the society, which at present Is under cloud.

The item which we published last

The item which We published last week about the swindling canvassers was crowded out of our issue of March ?, but we certainly should have made room for it had we known that gentry were in this vicinity. It now appears that they were working this town 10 days ago and took about $50 in this village and vicinity, but they have not put in an appearance since our issue of March was published.
 Last Wednesday at the hearing be- fore the committee on new counties and county seats at the capitol in Hartford, in regard to the bill concerning the making of New Milford and Winsted shire towns in this county, Lawyer A. T. Roraback made masterly argument against Litchfeld retaining the county seat, summary of which we intended to publish this week, but are compelled to omit.
 Last Friday m orning Charles Paul's horse, attached to an Idol which bore Q faint resemblance to stoneboat, ran Q mile from Mir Paul's house to Fuller x Peet's shed in thls village. During the flight in some way one of the horses l, ,gs was badly lacerated, and MT Paul sold the animal the same day to ped dler, but no one planes the horse for getting frightened at and trying to run away from such an idol as he was hitch ed to.
 -Landlord Warner has emonstrated the fact that temperance hotel can be made to pay. He will also take pleas ure in showing people the improve ments he is making on the building. He has enlarged some of the sleeping rooms; connected some of them with doors, thus making suites of rooms, and has built clothes-press in every sleep ing room; has placed sliding doors be- tween the sitting room and dining room. also sliding doors between the parlor and parlor chamber; placed handsome double doors at the front entrance, and large and modern style door at the office entrance. When he gets one story nearer the sky he ought to be content e l, but he won't, for he Is never happy unless he is repairing and improving q building.
 Last Thursday, while making the improvements on the Warner House, it was necessary to remove the "head sta tion" of the front door to the office, in order to substitute larger door. The "head station was found to be as bright and sound as when placed there over fl years ago, and on 1t was found the fol- lowing legend, written with lead pen cil: ''R. s. Potter, Nov. 27, 1S45. Very warm fall" Our older residents well remember Ransom S. Potter. In the year 1S41 he built the hotel now called the Warner House. He was also the builder of the Ensign Church house, on High street; the Henry G. Williams house, opposite Judge Changers; the house now owned by Patrick Lynch, on Railroad street; the house now occupied by James Lake, on Gillette street, and he also built other houses In this vicin- ity. He afterwards moved to some western state and died a number of years ago.
